The ContrarianJessica slumped on her seat, her team even avoided talking with her after Tiffany left the office
“Something bad must have happened,” Yoongi whispered to his colleagues
Jessica, once again, glanced at the paper bag. As long as she wanted to throws the package, she won’t make any wrong impression. Moreover, Taeyeon always said to her for being the kind person; it’s the gift, no more
It would be childish if Jessica throws this packet
Tiffany parked her car on the sideway. She exhaled slowly, her head is pounding nonstop. She takes the medicine bottle from her dashboard and drinks the pill immediately
“Honey?” Yuri called Tiffany because the latter texted her before, “I just finished the meeting, are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” said Tiffany while leaned her head to the seat, “I gave it to Jessica.”
“Does she take it?”
“Yeah, she does,” Tiffany replied, “I left her as soon as possible before, yeah, we might cut each other throat.”
“On the serious note, are you okay? Do I need to pick you up?”
“I’m okay, Honey. I took a day off today.”
“Okay then, I’ll see you at home tonight. I love you.”
“I love you more!”

Taeyeon yawned while holding her favorite Starbucks beverages, Venti Americano on the rock. She walked inside the building since the Starbucks located across the SG, the reason why Taeyeon loves their new building so much
“Hello, Director Kim,” one of the staff greets her. Almost all of the crews here know Taeyeon, she’s one of the best gems at SG, besides their idol
Truth to be told, Taeyeon is the part of SG's early years. Lee Sooman, or Chairman Lee, found her one month before she graduated. Chairman Lee also scouted Choi Siwon, since both of them studied at New York and Chairman Lee was prepared for the SG Ent., he recruited them
Siwon is Marketing Director, and Taeyeon is one of the best Music Director of SG, Chairman Lee never asked for more if it comes to his company. Albeit rough start, they finally reach the top of the tier, being the best agency in South Korea
“We will have the collaboration with Shinji Tagawa,” Taeyeon ears perked up upon Siwon’s words
“Do we need to go to Japan?” Taeyeon asked while flipping the proposal from Media Team
“Yep. Chairman Lee was persistent in making the collaboration since last year. We offered Hong Jonghyun last year, but he refused. This year we tried with your team, and he agreed; moreover, K&O will have their comeback after this,” Siwon explained. He pointed with his pointer to the screen that Shinji also agreed with the MV making and the further collaboration with SG
“What makes Chairman Lee wants him so bad?” Taeyeon put the proposal and drifts her eyes to the screen
“Japanese market is incredible, along with Chinese and Western. We already conquered both Chinese and Western, but the Japanese market still on AOP’s hand.”
“I see,” Taeyeon took her cup and sipped the beverages, “When will we go?”
“Next week,” said Siwon, “Wooyoung and his team will prepare the schedule and your trip. You guys only need to discuss further steps. It may need four days.”
“Okay,” Taeyeon nods, “I’ll tell my team. We need to prepare.”
“Call me if you need help,” said Siwon when Taeyeon walks to the door
“I heard you will go to Japan,” said Yuri. Taeyeon who eats her meal at the company café alone, raise her head and finds her colleague brings a tray with her
“Yeah,” Taeyeon replied after Yuri settled at the seat across her, “Next week.”
“I need you to come with me for checking the stage preparation for Mamamoo this Sunday.”
“You don’t let me rest at the weekend,” Taeyeon pouted
“Put your act somewhere,” Yuri chuckled. She knows Taeyeon is so passionate about her job, and working on the weekend isn’t new for her, “Anyway, thank you.”
“Hm?”
“For helping me?” Yuri smiled and put her chopsticks, gives the full attention to the woman across her, “You did great for saving Siwon and me.”
“I do what I need to do,” said Taeyeon casually, “I knew you got into a fight with Tiffany.”
“And you too,” Yuri takes her chopstick and eats the katsu, “I can feel it.”
“We made up, I’m sure you were done with that.”
“Yeah, something like that,” Yuri shrugs her shoulders
“I still feel amazing on how we can get along together like this,” said Taeyeon. She put her fork after stuffed the last piece of the meat and giving full attention to Yuri
“I never saw you as a bastard who took Jessica away from me,” said Yuri, “I heard several years ago, some people talked about that.”
“Ah, those gossip women,” Taeyeon chuckled, “We hate them all, aren’t we?”
“The reason why I don’t really like to join high school reunion,” Yuri added, “Also, they said you thought Jessica never loved you in the first place.”
“That was…” Taeyeon exhaled, “My biggest mistake. It cost me so much. You even came to me with Mother for confronting me.”
And punched you straightly.”
“Never forget about that too,” said Taeyeon while takes her coffee
“Tiffany was still, suffered,” Yuri stated, but her eyes are nowhere
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s not like, your fault, Tae.”
“I want to ignore the fact, but still, it’s bugging me.”
“She’s still seeing her shrink, don’t worry,” said Yuri, “How is Jessica?”
“She’s fine. She often told me how Tiffany hates her. She knows the fact yet, it’s hard for her to accept it all.”
“That’s fine; I know Jessica would distance herself from Tiffany. They aren’t good from the start. Remember when they were always challenging each other on their exam? Geez, they were so competitive.”
“They still are,” Taeyeon chuckled, “Well, I need to go back. Thanks for the conversation. I never thought we could talk this calm.”
“You once said, past is in the past. We need to move on.” Yuri stood from her seat and dusted her jeans
“Well,” Taeyeon shrugged, “Anyway, nice outfit. Not boring like usual.”
“Yah!”

“Sica, are you still checking the Assembly Goo’s file?” Sooyoung asked her colleague, “I thought you dropped this case. It closed for more than four years.”
“Assembly Goo was noticeable when the reporters asked her about his scandal four years ago. Did you find anything weird about that?”
“I knew our parents were talked about this case and the probability of opening up this case again. But as you se
